Chapter 30: Bibi Dong's Daughter's Planting Plan
"Dong'er, didn't you say that you and this Yu Xiaogang were just friends? Why is the entire Wuhun City saying you've become lovers?"
Inside the Pope's Palace, after summoning Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji couldn't contain his anger and questioned her.
But Bibi Dong acted very innocently.
"Master, I used to be just friends with Brother Xiaogang, but after spending more time with him, I discovered he's a very talented person, and without realizing it, I fell in love with him…"
Brother Xiaogang!?
Hearing Bibi Dong affectionately call Yu Xiaogang "Brother Xiaogang," Qian Xunji was so furious he nearly ground his teeth to dust. The veins on his forehead bulged — as the Pope, he needed to maintain his composure and majesty at all times.
Otherwise, Qian Xunji might have been so mad he jumped with rage.
But he couldn't help it.
Bibi Dong, a top genius rescued from the Spirit Hall, had been raised by Qian Xunji since she was a child. As a man, it's impossible to say he didn't have feelings for her.
However, Bibi Dong was a bit naive — at least in the original story.
As a genius from Spirit Hall, she fell in love with a wasted man — someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan who could threaten Spirit Hall. And for this worthless man, Bibi Dong even ran away with him!
No one could bear that!
So eventually, Qian Xunji went dark and became a "secret room Douluo," which is understandable — because things happened for a reason.
Of course, Qian Xunji's approach was wrong.
And because of this, he might have gained Bibi Dong's loyalty, but not her heart. Instead, she completely turned dark. To get revenge, she eventually led Spirit Hall to destruction.
However, as someone who had been "reborn," Bibi Dong was no longer as foolish as before. She claimed she wanted to elope with Yu Xiaogang, deeply enraging Qian Xunji.
In truth, hearing Bibi Dong say she liked Yu Xiaogang made Qian Xunji furious, but he barely held himself back.
Because, in his view, Bibi Dong had been deceived by Yu Xiaogang — a shameless and hypocritical bastard — due to her innocence, kindness, and lack of experience.
But if he could just reveal Yu Xiaogang's true face, Bibi Dong could surely be saved!
So, Qian Xunji suppressed his inner fury and earnestly told Bibi Dong that Yu Xiaogang's so-called talent was a fraud — that he had completely plagiarized knowledge from Spirit Hall and tricked her.
As for Qian Xunji's sincere explanation, Bibi Dong's real goal was to manipulate him into driving Yu Xiaogang away — all while furthering her plan to manipulate Qian Xunji.
So, Bibi Dong didn't act like her past brainwashed self — she didn't believe Qian Xunji's words, but pretended to be confused and asked, "Is that true?"
Hearing this, Qian Xunji was naturally delighted and quickly ordered someone to bring evidence.
The "evidence" was a pile of books that Yu Xiaogang had supposedly plagiarized, which were shown to Bibi Dong.
When she saw them, Bibi Dong pretended to be struck by lightning — her beautiful face instantly turned pale, and she staggered back several steps as if unable to bear the blow.
At the same time, she murmured, "How is this possible? He really lied to me…"
Seeing his disciple deceived so cruelly by a scoundrel, Qian Xunji felt extremely distressed — after all, this was the woman he had chosen as his future wife.
So he couldn't help but comfort Bibi Dong with a few words and asked, "Can we expel Yu Xiaogang from Wuhun City now?"
Hearing her master's words, Bibi Dong once again displayed her outstanding acting skills — biting her lip, her pale face full of hesitation.
However, after making a firm decision, Bibi Dong forced a bitter smile and asked Qian Xunji to drive Yu Xiaogang out by himself, without telling him she already knew everything.
Qian Xunji was understandably a little angry and disappointed with her decision.
But since Bibi Dong had always been pure and kind, it was expected that she wouldn't break things off harshly with Yu Xiaogang. Qian Xunji saw this as normal.
In any case, whoever does it, as long as that damn loser Yu Xiaogang is expelled from Wuhun City, everything will be fine!
So, after telling Bibi Dong to rest a while at the Pope's Palace, Qian Xunji, with scorn in his heart, led people straight to find Yu Xiaogang.
And once Qian Xunji left, Bibi Dong's demeanor changed completely. She was no longer the naive and innocent girl she just portrayed — her expression turned cold and sharp.
I've finally gotten him away — now I can begin the real plan!
After Qian Xunji left, Bibi Dong went immediately to the Pope's Palace — to the golden and magnificent angelic throne where Qian Xunji usually sat — and poured a small packet of medicinal powder into the teapot on the center table.
Because the topic between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong was relatively private, no one else was in the Pope's Palace at that time, so no one witnessed her crime.
After drugging the tea Qian Xunji would drink in the palace, Bibi Dong then went to Qian Xunji's study and drugged that tea as well.
Afterward, Bibi Dong walked out of the Pope's Palace, satisfied.
The drug she used was certainly not poison.
At this point, Bibi Dong had no intention of taking Qian Xunji's life.
In fact, the drug was actually an aphrodisiac.
An aphrodisiac is a very special kind of drug — technically, a type of poison.
But this kind of "poison" would still affect Qian Xunji even though he was a Titled Douluo, because aphrodisiacs don't harm the user's body.
To avoid detection, the aphrodisiac Bibi Dong used was specially developed by Dugu Bo — it subtly triggered desire and wouldn't be easily noticed.
And to further avoid suspicion, Bibi Dong asked Dugu Bo to disguise the aphrodisiac as a kind of mixed toxin. If you only tested the tea in the palace or the study, nothing would be found.
Only after both teas were consumed — and mixed with a specific stimulant — would the aphrodisiac be fully activated.
As for that stimulant, it was a very common perfume. But Bibi Dong had long since trained one of Qian Xunji's maids to use it.
So, after Qian Xunji drank the tea and lay down to rest, the maid came in to wash his feet — and Qian Xunji was instantly overwhelmed!
Bibi Dong had gone to great lengths — and of course, not just to send a woman to Qian Xunji.
That wouldn't harm him in the slightest.
The reason Bibi Dong did this was to ensure the birth of Qian Renxue. She had prepared for this for a long time, including winning over Dugu Bo — all for this day.
To ensure Qian Renxue's birth, Bibi Dong had secretly manipulated many of Qian Xunji's maids.
In the end, she selected a girl who resembled her to serve Qian Xunji — all to make sure she would give birth to Qian Renxue, who would believe she was Bibi Dong's daughter.
It's worth mentioning that Bibi Dong felt very guilty toward her daughter from her previous life.
In this life, Bibi Dong not only wanted to make up to Su Mo but also to the daughter from her past — to whom she owed so much.
